Downsizing- A Tough Decision
Downsizing, staff cutting, layoffs are all the same things. A company decides to downsize because of many reasons such as to increase productivity, quality, customer service and profitability. The people surviving the layoff are the ones who are on top of the list of fulfilling the company expectations and stepped up for the challenges and accomplished new heights.
Management decision of downsizing the employees is never carried out lightly. The managers and the supervisor should be a strong leader. He should have the capabilities of inspiring his remaining team members and inspire confidence. The whole atmosphere is quite tense and can have a negative impact but as a strong manager you should be able to recreate a amiable work environment and rebuild the people self-esteem. Re-emphasize the companies' vision, mission and values.
